Coronation Street viewers may be in for a surprise when Max Turner makes his return to screens next week with a completely new look. The troubled teen, played by Paddy Bever in the ITV soap, has been behind bars in a juvenile detention facility after pleading guilty to encouraging terrorism.
Max, the step-son of David Platt, was groomed by eco-warrior Griff Reynolds into his terrifying racist gang which saw Alya Nazir, Maria Windass and former Speed Daal waiter Daryan become targets when a bomb was planted in the middle of the street.
Despite previously keeping schtum on what happened when a test bomb exploded and left him in hospital, Max finally came through, with the help of one of Griff's pals' daughter Lauren, when they realised something bad was going to happen. After convincing Alya and her grandmother Yasmeen that he was telling the truth, Alya found a bomb and drove the van away from the cobbles.
